[quote user="guy sergeant"] I don't think I'd be tempted to make a back loaded horn to begin with. [/quote]

[quote user="guy sergeant"]From the Macondo to the Celestion SL600 !
I cannot think of two speakers that could be more different in terms of design philosophy and (I imagine) the presentation of music.
